The NLC last week gave the CBN and commercial banks a one-week ultimatum to make naira notes available to workers and Nigerians.
The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), on Wednesday, directed all workers to picket all the offices of the Central Bank of Nigeria nationwide starting next week over the current cash scarcity in the country.
NLC President, Joe Ajaero, gave the directive during a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday.
The NLC last week gave the CBN and commercial banks a one-week ultimatum to make naira notes available to workers and Nigerians.
The organisation said it would direct workers to stay at home if the apex bank failed to make the naira notes available to Nigerians.

The NLC President had said: “First, it’s apparently difficult for us to assess the little money we have in banks and Nigerians are groaning. This is the same money they were asked to pay into the banks.
“On the issue of cash crunch, the NLC is giving the FG, the agencies under it including the CBN and other banking institutions seven working days to address it. If they fail to do it at the expiration of the seven working days, Congress is directing all workers in the country to stay at home because it has become very difficult to access even N1, especially for traders who do not have bank accounts.”
